"Superstition"

Very superstitious
Writings on the wall
Very superstitious
Ladder's 'bout to fall
Thirteen month old baby
Broke the lookin' glass
Seven years of bad luck
Good things in your past

When you believe in things
That you don't understand
Then you suffer
Superstition ain't the way

Very superstitious
Wash your face and hands
Rid me of the problems
Do all that you can
Keep me in a daydream
Keep me going strong
You don't wanna save me
Sad is my song

When you believe in things
That you don't understand
Then you suffer
Superstition ain't the way

Superstition . . .

Very superstitious
Nothing more to say
Very superstitious
The devil's on his way
Thirteen month old baby
Broke the lookin' glass
Seven years of bad luck
Good things in your past

When you believe in things
That you don't understand
Then you suffer
Superstition ain't the way
